[NiTrOuSoXiDe]

Another Staten Islander eh? There's a lot of them floating about these forums. Are there any Galant clubs or groups or anything in the SI area you know of?

(sorry for OT)

Anyway, I'm going to give that brake fluid thing a quick try before I run off to work.

hey what's up and welcome to TGC, you should go post in the new members section and get an official welcome. As far as galant clubs or groups you can check out www.tgcny.com and also check out the East Coast forum, for local meets and or shows or whatever that might be coming up. As a matter of fact we are meeting up in New Rochelle on Saturday the 26th. Where in SI are you at? I am in Westerleigh.

Definately! Thanks!

By the way, I tried the brake fluid thing, and for some reason it worked WONDERS for my turning signal, it looks brand new, but didn't do anything for the headlight. I scrubed and scrubed and scrubed and scrubed and still is cloudy as hell. When I drive at night, you can actually see how messed up the light is because one headlight makes a nice clear beam of light that lights up the ground while the other side doesn't do much.

do you think i could mold lexan or plexi to the headlight housing and just remove the lens altogether? i mean, would the beam be destorted or straight?
also, would a dremel with a soft buffing tip work for the high speed buffer?

[frag_daddy_2007]

replying to myself, the dremel buffing attatchment does work and my lights look like new

i did mine with that 3M set.......... it was a fail....... When i touch my headlight its smooth not all sticky its not yellow but its still hazy and looks old... you think this would help ?? it seems like the 3M almost .... any pix from before and after because none of them work

You aren't doing right then.

[kondypl]

so this 3M set should work?

[4-G-rim]

If you are just applying the 3M stuff...its not going to remove all of the oxidized surface.

Did you do the steps with the high grit sand paper from the tutorial?

[kondypl]

no i just tried the 3M stuff i didnt try this tutorial yet

[beam514]

yea dude, I bet some of those pits are REALLY deep. You have to level the surface as much as you can with some sanding + wet sanding before you polish. Obviously don't sand to much though as to break through the surface

Super cheap fix ....soft cloth and family dollar non acetone nail Polish remover great temp fix
